set_page_dirty says:
For pages with a mapping this should be done under the page lock
for the benefit of asynchronous memory errors who prefer a
consistent dirty state. This rule can be broken in some special
cases, but should be better not to.
If the mapping doesn't provide a set_page_dirty a_op, then
just fall through and assume that it wants buffer_heads.
Under those rules, it only safe for us to use the plain set_page_dirty()
calls for shmemfs/anonymous memory. Userptr may be used with real
mappings and so needs to use the locked version (set_page_dirty_lock).
